There's a memory that comes once and again, night after night, as a dream...
My feet surrounded by water, the sun rays touching my face, the sweet air moving my hair while I see them coming...I am a little girl. My mom is right here. However I cannot reach her hand. And they came...Wild Horses, savage people...and I was too small to fight, too small to understand, too small to die...
But I died there... lying in a river.
As my spirit rose to the heavens my mom claims to the skies for me to became a strong woman, a warrior, a free soul. Her words whispered my name and that of my little animal guardian: Mimi...Tanka.
Well, It seems I was already in heaven. I walked on tiptoe through the darkness, guided by a spot of light...Until I saw them: Three men gathering around the fire. I could only see their backs...the light of the wood fire illuminated their long hair. I stood, they sitted. They didn't turn around, they just told me:
...you'll be back soon...
...but you won't understand the world...
...you will walk on tiptoe because you will never learnt to walk like the others...
...you will learn how to defend yourself although you won't want to fight the others...
...you will be no mom, however two kids will call you mami...
...you won't have children 'though you will carry two souls inside you body...
...you will create hundred of lovely creatures...
...you will love more than anyone although you wont be corresponded...
...until one day he will...
...and always remember this:
you won't understand nor control everything...
...accept to live...
There's a different story now, a different history...
And as I said before, I was too young to understand what was happening then, too young to hold a bow and an arrow, too young but I disappear...
As years passed I forgot what they had told me...however this lovely creature came out of my soul and my heart to remind me:
a woman
Can be a warrior.
Can be a free spirit.
Can be a guide.
Now you remember
Live!
